When do you need to add logic to save content from dialog boxes?

Hi all,

I'm having trouble understanding when you need add clientlib js file to save content from the dialog box? When is this necessary? Is it the same for TouchUI (Granite/Coral) and ClassicUI (extJS)

Normally you don't have to write logic/code to store values from dialog.

Dialogs are form for which there is not need write any code to submit values. Its takes care of it automatically

Ad mentioned by Praveen, the Dialog are nothing but forms, so then when you click the the OK button, the action or submission is performed.

Please have a look at this reference article to fetch the value from dialog :- http://aem.matelli.org/fetching-properties-from-dialogs/

The only use case I can think of when its necessary to write code is an advanced Multi-field dialog.

We have an article and video that shows this.
